IWRESTLEDABEARONCE Begins Recording New Album

IWRESTLEDABEARONCE, the electro/metal/jazz/grind hybrid from Shreveport, LA, has entered the studio to record their debut full length for Century Media Records. The band has locked themselves inside the home of producer extraordinaire Ross Robinson and are working with Ryan Boesch (Norma Jean). The album is expected to be ready for a spring 2009 release.

IWRESTLEDABEARONCE comments: “Ryan Boesch is a son of a bitch and a dirty, godless savage… but on the bright side, we are writing and recording on the beach at Ross Robinson's house and drinking all of Norma Jean's leftover energy drinks. Anyway, Ryan is as insane as us and since his discography includes 2Pac, Andrew WK, Tomahawk, and Sheryl Crow, we know we are in good hands. We will be updating our MySpace with all kinds of stupid news, so keep in touch on there for all of the latest! Our drummer has horrific gas.”

Best known for their spastic take on grindcore, metal and even showtunes, IWRESTLEDABEARONCE is as hard to categorize as that particular melding would suggest. One look at the new video for “Tastes Like Kevin Bacon,” which encapsulates that twist particularly well, and you'll know what the band is all about.
